The provisions below are intended to define the conditions under which screen.brussels grants access to its website.

This website is an initiative of screen.brussels fund asbl, whose registered office is located at 2-4 rue Royale, 1000 Brussels, Belgium.

On 2 May 2016, the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region launched a new strategy aiming to simplify the readability of the Brussels audiovisual offer for all stakeholders, whether Brussels-based, Belgian or international.

This strategy has been materialised by the creation of an umbrella brand, screen.brussels, which is made up of four components:

— screen.brussels film commission: formerly known as the Brussels Film Office, operated by visit.brussels,

— screen.brussels cluster: the industry cluster housed within impulse.brussels,

— screen.brussels business: financing for Brussels-based audiovisual firms through finance.brussels,

— screen.brussels fund: the new Brussels co-production fund. 

Within this framework, reference is made on this website to the four components described above under the name screen.brussels.
